How to use jquery trigger anchor's default click event?

Question

Suppose I have an anchor in my page like :turn to header then I also set a button in my page

Answer 1

Try This, working for Me !!

$("#anchor").get(0).click();

This will call default click of the anchor.

Answer 2

jQuery does not have a way to trigger the native DOM event directly.

To do that, you can use the plain old standard DOM methods:

var evt = document.createEvent("Event");
evt.initEvent("click", true, true);
$('#anchor').get(0).dispatchEvent(evt);

For support of IE8 or earlier, you need to use the IE-specific event methods createEventObject and fireEvent.

Answer 3

You can Also use to trigger click/any events

$('#bycategory').click(function(){
  alert('triggered');
});
$('#bycategory').triggerHandler("click");

Answer 4

You have a spelling error. Please use:

{$("#anchor").trigger("click");});

Answer 5

Please see this answer.

Instead of trying to trigger the click event, try setting the window.location property:

window.location = '#header';

Or perhaps:

$("input").click(function() {
  window.location = $('#anchor').attr('href');
});
